Reviews for Siam Thai Restaurant in Asheville, NC

The Tom Kha soup was a gravy-brown/tan color and very sweet and lackluster. Should be white in color (coconut milk base) with... fresh ingredients of lemongrass, lime, cilantro, chili oil! When done right, it's a delight for the senses! If Campbell's soupmade a Tom Kha soup, this would be it. I ventured out just for this soup and was disappointed. Papaya salad was OK. YellowCurry mediocre at best with undercooked vegetables. (sweet potatoes and potatoes were hard.) Rice not so greateither. Atmosphere was uncomfortable: bright lights, sterile, cafeteria-like feel, uninspired ambiance, and the smell offloor-cleaner permeated the air upon entrance. A restaurant should FEEL good, SMELL good and have LOVE (creativity, heart) inthe food! Siam Thai didn't check any of those boxes for me. Won't be back. Read more

The atmosphere was very basic. Restaurant very bright, furniture very plain with no real character. Service was slow and the... server was not concerned to make sure we were taken care of. The Tom Jha soup was sweet (it shouldn't be), the spring rolls weredoughy on the inside and our stir fry dish was questionable of whether it was stir fry or a different dish. The Seafood stir fry(?) dish had tough calamari, vegetables not cooked enough and was served without a spoon to dish it out into our plate. Wereceived a small bowl of rice for the meal. Server was too busy for us to ask for more rice. We did not complain because itshould not be our position to correct and complain in order to get good service and a good meal. We just made the decision thatwe would not return. There are many other great places in the area to get great food. We just chalk this one up as adisappointing choice. Read more

Worst lunch I've had in awhile. We used to love this place when we first discovered it last year but recently it's been off and... today was awful. I had the pork drunken noodles which had no flavor aside from old cooking grease. My husband liked his basilpork at first but soon after he got a gut bomb. Too bad it's a cute little place and today around 130 there was only one othercustomer. Read more

Judging by other reviews we must have caught them on a bad day. The (admittedly overworked) server forgot our drinks, and we... had to ask for water after waiting 20 mins and having our appetizer served. Then when we got the bill the drinks we never gotwere on there and we had to get them removed. The food itself was some of the worst Thai we've ever had. The "spice" was redpepper flakes (and lots of them) and the chicken was dry and flavorless, boiled ahead of time instead of cooking fresh with thedish. Read more

The duck pad Thai and the soft shell crab special were both really good. The papaya salad could have used some work, very sweet... dressing. The waiter asked us how spicy would like it, I asked for medium on the papaya salad and the soft shell crab and hot onthe duck pad thai. Nothing was very spicy, but the hot sauces on the side made it work out. Read more

The food is spectacular here and the service (from Sam) was top notch. Don?t let the ?off the beaten path? location fool you -... this place is well worth the trip! We live close by so it?s a tremendous bonus. This IS the spot for excellent Thai food. Read more
